| I wander through a river of stones searching for life's infinite possibilities  |

I started this blog in January, 2011, to participate with other writers around the world in creating "small stones" which are brief, focused observations about daily life. In each subsequent January, I've done daily posts of small stones while also posting once a week or more in other months. The title of the blog is its goal - to find and report on One good Thing (and sometimes on more than one).
Recently, I've decided that two blogs are more than I can handle. I intend to make One Good Thing private in about a week's time. I know that some people just stop posting and let their blogs in the public domain, but I've heard stories about theft of content as well as actual piracy of inactive blogs by spammers, so I've decided to close One Good Thing to the public. It will remain for my family to read if they so desire.
I want to thank all who have commented here the past several years. I've enjoyed getting to know you - many of you are writers/photographers who also participated in the small stone challenge.
I believe that good things are infinite and are waiting for us to find them.
Wishing you an abundance of all good things!
I'll continue to post on my blog, Live and Learn.
Perhaps some of you will visit me there.
Thank You for your friendship,
Barb
I'm sorry to see your blog go.. but didn't realize that there was another one. I'll just have to subscribe to that one in my Feedly now. :)
ReplyDeleteWill miss you here but am so glad you will keep Live and Learn active. I always wondered how people kept more than one blog going. I struggle with one. See ya at Live and Learn.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Barb, and thanks , - Ive really enjoyed you!
ReplyDeleteTwo is a lot of blogs and I don't blame you one bit. Both of them are so beautiful... I am sure you will include some of your small stones in your other blog (I think you already do even if they aren't so labeled). It is good of you to to let people know what your plans are. I always feel sad and worried for a while when someone I follow just disappears (of course especially when it is their only blog).
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all the beauty -- of all kinds, in all places.
and PS: Barb, we are 'home' (the Oregon one) although no one would know it from my blog. I'll probably be posting about Alaska for months and months.
I have always very much enjoyed coming here to read. I too hope you will include 'small stones' in your other blog.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are making wise decisions. So glad our blog journeys intersected, Barb, and that I have followed both of yours. :)
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the beauty and positivity of One Good Thing in the short time I've been reading. I will continue to visit you on Live and Learn, Barb. God bless and keep you. xoxo your friend, Jenny
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are continuing Live and Learn! One of the beautiful things about blogging is that no two blogs are alike; in other words, no one can replace "you," "your" photos, and "your" words.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous image of snow in a dry river bed! I will miss your One Good Thing but I'm happy you will continue your Live and Learn blog.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture Barb, it reminds me of an artist's work where she paints animals or people in her paintings. Her name escapes me right now. I will go visit your other blog now. Happy you are keeping one blog open.
ReplyDeleteBarb, oh thank goodness you shared your thoughts about this One Good Thing. Yes, two blogs can be way too much to handle at times. It can feel like too much. It sounds like a good choice to keep it open as "private" for family members to peruse, should they wish. That way you still have the content and can perhaps sit over here and feel the energy of this goodness, the small stones of gratitude. Namaste, little blog. May you continue to blossom in the hearts of those who've paused here.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity that I just recently discovered your blog. Firstly, I like the title of this and the aim of this blog. Now I'm just browsing and I've seen many beautiful pictures. I love nature and I enjoy seeing it from different parts of the world. I'll follow your other blog and I hope I still will see your beautiful pictures and good words.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barb for the insight you have shared on this blog.
ReplyDeleteOne good thing always leads to another I believe. Here's to all the good things out there.
Thank you Barb for sharing your wisdom and insight with us on this blog. I am grateful for the energy you gave to it.
ReplyDeleteOne good thing always leads to another.......
Meeting you through this blogger world has changed my life Barb. I completely understand your decision to reduce the Blog quantity. It takes a lot of time and effort to present a post and really one blog is sufficient. Now with your new camera you can show us your creations and elaborate on editing. We all want to learn, well at least I know I do.!

I like the snow showing between the rocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us read all your beautiful and wise words here!
ReplyDeleteI understand why two blogs have become too much to handle. The same thing has happened to me! This is such a lovely blog...but I do understand.
ReplyDeleteYour blog and your positive, upbeat attitude is most appreciated. I've always enjoyed my visits here.😂 I hope your Autumn is filled with good things.🌞
ReplyDeleteHello Barb, and thank you for your comment. I have missed your wonderful photos and tried to visit Live and Learn in the past months, but it seems to be for invited readers only. I hope to be able to continue reading your reflection in one blog or another. :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy weekend and many bright autumn days!
